Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Naomi Bristow

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Naomi Bristow, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Naomi Bristow (September 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gbawden was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Has a number of issues:

1) Written like an advert 2) Needs to be formatted per our Manual of Style

3) Needs reliable sources, not FB or her website - see WP:RS

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Naomi Bristow and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Naomi Bristow, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Naomi Bristow, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

September 2019

Hello GavinoGavv. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Naomi Bristow, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:GavinoGavv. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=GavinoGavv|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Harshil ^{want to talk?} 04:56, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:GavinoGavv, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=GavinoGavv|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Harshil ^{want to talk?} 05:06, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Naomi Bristow (September 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Robert McClenon were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Does the author of this draft have any sort of financial or other connection with the subject of this draft? Please read the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy and make any required declarations.

This draft does not appear to indicate which of the musical notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page which criterion is met, and resubmit.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Naomi Bristow and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Naomi Bristow, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Hello, GavinoGavv! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 14:49, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Making new pages is not for newcomers.

Hi GavinoGavv,

I see your interest in Naomi Bristow, and the MfD of Draft:Naomi Bristow.

Thanks for trying, but I think you have been ill-advised to start your Wikipedia editing with the creation of a new page on a topic that can be associated with promotion. When you do this, Wikipedians are highly skeptical of you motivations (WP:PAID?), and the bar for acceptance of such new pages is high.

Reading your comments, I think that you do not understand Wikipedia. To better understand it, as an editor, you need some experience. Find some existing articles related to your interested, and improve them. See also WP:DUD. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:39, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For you to tell me I “don’t understand Wikipedia” is hilarious. You tell me that my sole intention of coming on here is to make this article and leave? You don’t know my intentions with this website. And telling me my article on “Naomi Bristow” isn’t allowed isn’t fair. What do you call articles about Taylor Swift and other artists like that? That is promotion technically. And if you say it is “informational” then so is my article about Naomi Bristow. My article is informational and has 8 sources to back that up with (small article). I believe that I know A LOT more about Wikipedia than you think I do.

The draft is OK, see my post at the MfD. Your posts are a bit clumsy. You do not sign your posts, which is a sure sign that you are new around here. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t realize I was supposed to sign my name after every one of my comments/responses to admins on here. If the draft is ok, then why does it keep getting declined? Makes no sense. The reasons I am being given aren’t really true. --GavinoGavv (talk) 13:02, 17 September 2019 (EST)

Someone else is agreeing. Maybe you have been completely right all along, I can't explain my first response. We are all hobbyist volunteers, and sometimes, me at least, post with the brain only half engaged. Upcoming young musicians are frequently spammed on Wikipedia, and I guess there was a knee-jerk reaction and we fell in line with the same reaction. Sorry.

The page is at WP:MFD, where process rules call for a 7 day discussion, so it is stuck there for a few more days.

It is custom to sign with four ~, when posting statements. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:14, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
